The Summoning

Good day The Summoning community. This game i played back in 1994 when i was about 10 years old, it has stuck with me for so long, I keep downloading it from abandonware. i am extremely exited to see it on steam! Thank you for bringing back this old classic and breathing some new life into it. This game was the start of most RPG games. it is extremely well done for a 1992 game, it was one of the first games to have your character's look change when putting on different armour and equipping different weapons. This game is truly nostalgic to me and well done for its time and will always a space in my library.

Some games stay with you for years, and this has been the case for me-- I played it as a kid, didn't finish it because it was technically my dad's game and he wouldn't let me, and went back now to play it. Considering I've been hung up on finishing it for more than 2 decades, I'd say it's definitely worth the time and look. I can only recommend.

Probably one of the better retro RPGs from the early 90’s that was available on floppy disks. For some reason this one stuck with me. Can’t believe I stumbled on it in the Steam store, thought this was a long gone and forgotten. Works on my Steam Deck but will need tinkering with controls.

用SteamDeck跑的dosbox，好幾次都卡在啟動動畫 老遊戲當然只能用鍵盤滑鼠，不過不會被中文智冠bug卡住就是了 開場字體相當難閱讀，遊戲裡沒有引導，據說steam版的說明書只有當年要錢的攻略指南ww 除了開啟有一定可能當機以外，在steam買才能在SteamDeck玩嘛(理直氣壯) 遊戲的說明書可以上網路圖書館查，但廢話有點多，重點是操作指南…呃，其實直接看攻略就好了，印象裡遊戲裡面有提示快捷鍵 如果真的要玩，建議還是做個筆記寫下來 基本的操作就是數字區鍵1379的移動，輸入區123456 揮/砍/投擲、F1234施放法術區已經寫好的手勢 魔力會自然恢復，但慢到放半小時回不到多少，建議以實際使用鍛鍊能力就好 四類武器跟魔法初期的選擇都無所謂，能力值比較麻煩…反正越高越好 個人是建議以回血法術開始，畢竟只要有一瓶空瓶跟魔力，就沒人能把你打死 而戰鬥由於結局一定會用到戰神，所以單手劍迴避不能，但拿到它之前都隨便沒啥差 噢F10就是用來搓手勢給預備區的，至於哪個對應哪個就整個鍵盤趴一下紀錄 卷軸只要獲得後在介面閱讀就可以扔了，只是要記得順序(抄下來) 基礎知識大概就這些了，雖然很有趣但我當年打到第二區還是累到崩潰了… 與惡魔禁地相比，一樣有對話系統，只是通常都是跟磁片聊天存檔用 等級越高角色越強，說明書還特地吐槽要把劇情全達成才能滿等 技能越使用就會越強，但魔法就差在魔力不足…龍葵還只能吃果實，不能吃葉子，會毒死

love this game as kid back day still fun to play

This is one of the games I really wanted to play as a kid, but I did not have access to a PC back then. So, like many games I read about or saw in stores, it became a dream that faded into a distant memory. That is, until I got on Steam and made it a personal quest to try and play as many of these games I unfortunately missed back in the day. That being said, this is pretty much exactly what I wanted it to be. But man, it's unforgiving and tough. I like that though, and I expected it. I've always had a soft spot for isometric dungeon crawlers and this one does not disappoint and for a game of its era, it's very playable and less cumbersome than similar games. Ultimately, this is definitely a recommend if the things I described are your cup of tea.
